Hey guys, that was my blog post and just saw it was linked to from here - I've been a lurker for ages, so figured I'd finally create an account and reply
Great article! Glad you finally signed up and posted here on Dfans. Stay awhile and post!
Edit: Did I mention you have a badass avatar? MM FTW
I kept trying it in multiplayer today. Try it yourself and see. My client has been weird lately, so it might just be me. I'm not sure though, since everything else was working fine.
This is probably dead, but if anyone else is trying to figure this
out, you just need to know the special characters to get either color
codes or text formatting codes.

I'm quite sad to see this go, wish it was a retail feature.
Fingers crossed?

As an example, if you want dark blue text, you precede the text to get that color with: https://blogtech.us/minecraft-color-codes/

The special character that looks somewhat like an s and the 1 that
follow it won't display in the book, but instead will tell Minecraft to
color the text blue.
